Breakdancing excluded from the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

You know, I watched two things from the entire Olympics, that 17 year old kid from Canada kicking ass in one of her events and winning gold, she’s a special kid, so talented. The second was golf, Lydia Ko winning gold and earning her way into the hall of fame.

Well, that and the president of the Olympics saying there no scientific way of discerning the difference between males and females. The Olympics are dead to me…

Pretty much. I can't believe they even put brake dancing in there in the first place!

The IOC is a (frank)ing joke.

Not that anyone cares, but, just read on X from Dreger that the Leafs are kicking Tavares to the curb and naming Matthews captain.

If I drove a locomotive for 380K a year, I’d be more inclined to agree with you.

I'm sure your dishwashing job is sufficient to be able to afford it.

Anyways, you're likely all about to find out just how much we contribute to the economy.

The 5 top execs at CPKC earn about as much as the entire group running the trains.......maybe there's the problem .

Stock up, if it lasts 2 weeks stores will be running out of goods.

Connected buddy of mine thinks the union digs in and will do okay at the end of the day. Said it "won't be easy".

Most guys don't hold any summer vacation, they'll take 6 weeks off for sure. After that, it's anybody's guess. I'd say most guys are willing to be off for 12 weeks minimum.

I'm pretty connected too as I'm a union rep.

The company starts losing right away and most of it they won't get back. they've already been losing market share since May.


They're cutting off the most essential first so stock up on water.

People think they're entitled to a 10% return on the company stocks while the worker gets 2%

I hope you guys get what you rightfully deserve. 2% is a joke

It's a much weirder choice to come to a hockey thread to make bigoted jokes than it is to challenge someone on it.

Is there a reason you are not using an ad blocker? I get none of that.

#stlblues have tendered offer sheets to both #Oilers Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway.

Edmonton has 7 days to match the offers.

Offer sheet terms by #stlblues:

Philip Broberg: 2 years x $4,580,917

Dylan Holloway: 2 years x $2,290,457

Compensation due is a third-round pick for Holloway and a second-round pick for Broberg.

One dollar more on AAV for each player would have bumped up compensation.

You should be more concerned about the two offer sheets the Coiler's got today pal!
